If it ever was there, >it'd be in the CVS repository, and it's not. I had found the same problem when I had to apply some patches in sendmail "by hand". The READ_ME file at the /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/src directory states that: ********************* !! DO NOT USE MAKE !! to compile sendmail -- instead, use the ********************* "makesendmail" script located in the src directory. It will find an appropriate Makefile, and create an appropriate obj.* subdirectory so that multiplatform support works easily. I've found, however, that running "make" works ok.
